Taxes should be increased for everyone — not just the rich — to break the logjam in Washington over how to reduce the nation’s towering deficit, Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared today.
“The easiest thing to do, the fairest thing to do, is a small percentage on everything,” the mayor recommended on his weekly WOR radio show.
“So if you want to raise taxes, don’t pick one class of people and say, ‘I think they have too much money,’ or ‘I don’t think they have enough money’ or whatever. Raise everybody’s taxes 1 or 2 percent, whatever it was.”
